Hey jeff,
This is the call for the journey of a new beginning.  Ask yourself what’s the most powerful story that you can live into with this big change in your life.  I look forward to hearing hos this work informs your practice of focussing on what works and is working.

Hi,I am new here. I am a dad of 3 awesome children. My midle son is Autistic. My wife took the kids and left me almost 3 weeks ago so I don’t know how much parenting I will be doing. However I am looking to learn all that I can so I don’t mess my kids up any more then I may have already done.Jeff

Role Model…. Role Model…. Role Model…… thoughts?

Hey Devon,
What a fabulous dream.  I think the Intentional Parenting community is becoming larger and larger.  I also belong to an Non Violent Communication Parenting list serve where folks are committed and working to be parents that teach their kids about needs, feelings, requests and compassion.  I think there are many parents that would great benefit from this model and the applications towards parenting.  I look forward to integrating the ages/stages information into the experience we are designing for my daughter and 7 other kids. 
I know that I’m already applying everything I can from the H.O.S. in teaching my daughters to be empowered, creative, generative and full of concious choice.  I support your dream and am ready to help bring it forward.
Best,

Hey Tivo,
I’m happy to give feedback. And I’d love some more of the specifics on how and what you are doing specifically. If I get enough participation, I’d like to begin putting together a stage-by-stage (yea-by-year) resource for parents.
I want to use the extensive work already done in the Human Operating System along with the ages and stages knowledge we have (http://humanoperatingsystem.org/progressiveparents/ages_and_stages.pdf) all as a foundation for age-specific resources for intentional parenting.
My dream is that parents with children of any age could just come to the forum (linked to the wiki) and find resources  to use with their children - all in service of raising healthy, happy children who never lose that fundamental curiosity and spark they are born with.
My dream is also of an active community. Intentional parents are still in the minority and though we’re gaining in numbers, we need a forum to talk and work things out with other intelligent, intentional and well-informed parents.
 
What say you sir?
